Express de Lyon

Although it appears on first glance like any other train station-adjacent café-bar, this place is a must for serious beer geeks in Paris. Their rotating selection of taps includes craft beers from all around Europe (some favorites: Craig Allan’s hoppy French brews, BrewDog’s assertive beers from Scotland, and the kooky but delicious offerings from Denmark’s “nomad” brewery, Evil Twin). For the less adventurous, they also pour more well-known Belgians like Chouffe, Chimay, and Leffe. The bartenders know their stuff, and are happy to talk beer with greenhorns and aficionados alike

Had a BrewDog and some other more unusual stuff when I visited in 2014. The scene is a mix of travellers and people who are there for the beer. People behind the bar clearly are seriously into beer and were helpful.

Just a note on the negative comment by the person who hasn’t even been to the bar. The article doesn’t use the term “craft” to describe any of the beers, nor does it say that those Belgian beers are the reason to visit this bar. With the exception perhaps of Leffe, those other Belgians are not particularly ubiquitous in Paris in my experience. Nor is it true that you can find even Leffe “literally” anywhere in the world. Apart from that, thank you for enlightening us!
